About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and potential protective benefit of Barrigel, a hyaluronic acid-based rectal spacer, in patients undergoing prostate cryoablation for localized or recurrent prostate cancer. The primary aim is to assess Barrigel thermal stability during cryoablation.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers

Biopsy-confirmed localized prostate cancer (Grade Group ≥ 2). Salvage cryoablation cases may be included.
Unifocal disease visible on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and amenable to focal or whole gland cryoablation.
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) < 20 ng/ml.
Disqualifiers
Evidence of metastatic disease.
Prior radiation therapy to the area of the prostate.
Active rectal or urinary tract infection.
Known allergy to hyaluronic acid products or contrast agents.
